Chapter 1144: Disaster Is Imminent, Radiation Beasts Gather!

Compared to men who are strong and strong, women do have a natural disadvantage in the wasteland.

In addition, most women from the civilized era simply cannot adapt to the rhythm of the early wasteland, so in terms of ratio, the number of male and female sacrifices in the wasteland in a year should be 3:7.

However, with the passage of time, women who have survived until now are actually not much different from men in terms of survival ability.

After adapting to the cruel rhythm of the wasteland, and getting used to the separation of life and death, I gave up the impossible fantasy.

In addition to being somewhat disadvantaged in activities that require direct physical participation, such as hunting, women actually perform better than men most of the time.

Careful, efficient, careful, considerate

Various advantages are superimposed together, and combined with the ultimate advantage of eating less, most survivor teams heading to the New World actually like to recruit women to join.

In the migration team where Cheng Fei is currently staying, there are also a lot of women, accounting for almost half.

"Brother Cheng, why are you here? Where is my brother?"

Lin Yin woke up from her sleep, raised her sallow face lacking nutrition and looked over.

After finding that Cheng Fei was alone, he couldn't help but ask quickly.

The Cheng family and the Lin family are old friends who have known each other in the deep sea, but along the way, both Lin's father and Cheng's father died in the wasteland to protect their families.

Only Ma Lin and Ma Cheng were left with their three children, migrating to the New World.

The hardships along the way are difficult to describe in words.

However, the relationship between the two families is still certain, and Cheng Fei can completely treat him as half a brother.

"Something is not good. Lin Cheng went out today without saying hello to me in advance. Now everyone else has come back, and he is still hunting outside."

Pulling Lin Yin to the corner, Cheng Fei cautiously lowered his voice and spoke.

"Ah? My brother doesn't know how." Lin Yin's complexion changed drastically, and her sallow face suddenly turned white.

"No, don't think about it." Cheng Fei shook his head calmly: "We are all aware of your brother's caution. It is impossible to go out and take risks in this situation."

"I guess he must have discovered something like this. You help your mother get up first and go to my mother's cave. If something happens, I can take care of it together."

"good!"

A sixteen-year-old girl may still be a child worrying about the college entrance examination on earth.

But in the wasteland, the cruel reality forced her to stand upright and face it.

There is not so much time to grow up, so surviving is the best training.

Watching Lin Yin helping Lin Ma disappear into the passage, Cheng Fei tightened his tight straps, raised his hands and patted his face, and forced himself to cheer up and walk back and forth.

It's still snowing heavily outside, so going out to look for someone is not the best option.

But he had to at least go out and take a look now and wander along the road Lin Cheng took.

If something unexpected happens, you can prepare early.

"Boy, are you going out to find someone?"

The uncle who was lying down and resting at the door bared his yellow teeth and smiled disdainfully.

"I really envy you for your deep brotherhood and your ability to die together."

"Huangya, shut your mouth, you and he will die together." Cheng Fei snorted and retorted.

However, Huangya didn't care. Instead, he lazily turned around and continued to sleep on his own.

However, his words reminded several people around him.

Suddenly, he glanced over with malicious eyes, and he didn't know what bad intentions he had.

"Hehe, if you are jealous, you can try it."

If all the fighting men of the Lin family and Cheng family died outside, the remaining orphans and widows would inevitably become 'prey' in the eyes of these people.

Although under the supervision of the migration team's rules, they did not dare to cross the border to grab supplies.

But it is inevitable that you still have to pay a fortune in exchange for peace.

After leaving the wilderness survival base alone, Cheng Fei pushed open the big stone at the door. The snowflakes outside were blown by the cold wind, and Cheng Fei couldn't help but shiver.

The earth seems to be more deserted.

The wasteland shrouded in heavy snow seemed to have pressed the pause button, with basically no life left in sight.

Several thin small trees have been bent by the weight of snow on their branches and are hanging on the ground.

Most of the footprints left by the exploration team's previous departure were also hidden.

Fortunately, those who came back cleaned up their tracks, which made Lin Cheng's path that had not been cleaned up look extremely conspicuous, making it easier to track the past.

Following the traces all the way, Cheng Fei did not give up his vigilance even if he was following the footprints left behind.

After walking about four or five kilometers, the footprints on the ground began to become more dense.

"this"

Looking at the sudden appearance of footprints in four directions in front of him, Cheng Fei stopped.

He has come here to explore in the past, but he has never been to these four directions now.

What on earth is this guy Lin Cheng doing?

Cheng Fei gritted his teeth and could only follow the most obvious footprints on the ground.

However, a few minutes later, his expression suddenly changed.

Where the footprints stopped, a cliff-like terrain suddenly appeared.

Just like most slopes formed by heat siphoning from the mountainside, the angle of this slope now exceeds sixty degrees, and there are still traces of Lin Cheng sliding down on it.

"Crazy, he is really crazy!"

If it was to track prey, rushing down from here could still be explained.

But there were no traces of radiation beasts near the footprints. Could it be that Lin Cheng drank too much?

Or did he find something more worthy of tracking?

Cheng Fei gritted his teeth, hesitated for four or five seconds, and could only lean down and sit on the ground and follow the traces down.

Fortunately, the snowflakes did not fall for a long time, and it was not as slippery as imagined.

Under the action of friction, the speed of sliding down was not fast and was still under control.

After sliding down along the traces for about three or four minutes, the terrain gradually turned into a gentle slope.

With his legs tensed, Cheng Fei rolled on the ground to release the kinetic energy, and stood up in a half-squat.

Below, it seemed to be a valley?

The terrain was like steps, and each slope was connected to a breakthrough.

Cheng Fei walked cautiously to the edge of the slope and looked down.

The heavy snow obscured the vision, and it was a little unclear with a little fog.

It seemed that something was creeping?

The ground at the bottom of the valley seemed to be moving slowly, making it difficult to see what it was.

However, just when Cheng Fei wanted to slide down another slope and get closer to observe carefully.

A cold wind blew, blowing away the wind and snow and the mist.

In that glimpse, he finally saw clearly what was still wriggling in the valley.

My God.

The dread that made his scalp tingle rushed out from the bottom of his heart, and Cheng Fei was so frightened that he wanted to scream.

Fortunately, at this time, a pair of warm hands reached out from behind and covered his mouth.

"Shh, don't make a sound"

It was Lin Cheng!

Recognizing the familiar voice, Cheng Fei turned his head quickly.

What came into view was a slightly thin and immature boy. Although his facial features were not handsome, his gray and white curly hair made him exude a unique and elegant temperament.

"As you can see, the radiation beasts did not disappear, they gathered together"

The two were silent for a few seconds, and Lin Cheng spoke first.

"How did you find out?" Cheng Fei's face was ugly, and the fear that had just risen in his heart was still not eliminated.

"Do you remember that I have the habit of spreading food near the hunting ground every day? When I checked the food today, some of it was eaten by the radiation beasts. I tried to track them along the route they left." Lin Cheng's eyes flickered, and he still stared at the valley closely.

There are at least thousands of radiation beasts gathered in this valley now.

All kinds of strange creatures crowded together, quietly, as if waiting for something.

Their IQ has reached this level?

Lin Cheng didn't know, but he always felt that this was not a good sign.

Cheng Fei didn't speak.

During the silence, the atmosphere was a bit solemn and serious, and the two were thinking quietly.

After a while, Cheng Fei spoke:

"What are you going to do?"

"Tell them? Or leave?"

Thousands of radiation beasts gathered together, obviously it is impossible to avoid the smaller number of migration teams.

This doesn't make sense, and it's impossible.

"It must be that we have been stationed for too long and attracted the attention of these radiation beasts, and our hunting has exposed our targets almost every day."

"No wonder, no wonder there are fewer and fewer radiation beasts in the past two days!"

As for the fewer and fewer radiation beasts, everyone guessed that it was caused by the heavy snow.

No wonder, the snowfall and the gathering of radiation beasts almost overlapped, causing the migration team to let down their vigilance.

I should have thought of it earlier!

"I don't know how many of them will gather before launching an attack, or what they are waiting for. But if we notify everyone to leave now, these radiation beasts will probably not sit back and watch us leave in a swagger."

"The best way is to..."

Lin Cheng stopped talking, but at this moment Cheng Fei knew what he meant.

If you want to survive, the best thing to do now is to leave quietly.

If you notify the rest of the migration team and everyone flees together, it will probably cause a disaster immediately.

For humans who have no terrain to fight offensive and defensive battles, encountering such a large number of radiation beasts in the wilderness is no less than delivering food directly.

Lin Cheng continued: "If you want to leave, go back and take your mother with you. You take two-thirds of our supplies. We will definitely not be able to leave."

Lin's mother has been infected with the hell flower virus. Even on a sunny day, it is difficult to escape from the pursuit of radiation beasts.

Not to mention the heavy snow blocking the mountain and the more difficult to walk on the mountain road.

Fleeing with the team will be a deadly situation.

"But"

"No buts, that's my mother, not an outsider!" Lin Cheng's eyes turned red, and his mood began to get weird.

"As long as I can hold on until the heavy snow ends, I can take her to that Tianyuan territory, where there can be a cure for the hell flower!"

People are willing to fight to the death even when there is no hope, not to mention that there is a fictitious "Tianyuan territory" now.

When passing by the sea station, Cheng Fei did hear someone discussing this strange human gathering place, discussing whether it can really cure the terrifying hell flower.

As for the authenticity, Cheng Fei knew that even if he told Lin Cheng that it was probably just a place made up by rumors, Lin Cheng would never believe it.

After all, if he believed it, it would be equivalent to giving up his mother subconsciously.

"Forget it, where can I escape to in such a heavy snow."

Cheng Fei smiled bitterly and rationally rejected the proposal.

To be honest, he was indeed tempted for a few seconds just now, but he finally gave up the idea.

The reason is simple. It is snowing so heavily outside. Going to the depths of the new world alone in an unfamiliar terrain is no different from seeking death.

Perhaps the only difference is that one died in the wilderness and the other died under the attack of the radiation beast.

"Since we don't plan to escape, what about this news?"

Cheng Fei calmed down and said another idea that came to his mind: "If we tell them, maybe these people's escape will attract the attention of the radiation beast."

"But if the radiation beast ignores them, it will be more difficult for us to resist the attack."

This is a gambling choice.

Since neither of them plans to take their families away, in theory, the stronger the resistance of the migration team, the greater the chance of surviving smoothly.

But the reality is very entangled.

If the migration team is not told about this situation, it is impossible to organize defense in advance. After all, the two are just unknown people in the team.

What's more, even if it is the captain of the migration team, it is impossible to organize defense in such an inexplicable way.

No one is a fool. When they see the situation suddenly become serious, they will definitely try to figure out the reason.

But if you tell the migration team that hundreds of people will never risk their lives to fight against the radiation beast together, it is a foregone conclusion that some people will leave.

"Cheng Fei, you have to think about it. There is a high possibility of death if you stay." Lin Cheng stared at the canyon below without looking back.

"Your father and my father died together. I don't want us to die together again."

A few seconds of silence.

Cheng Fei retracted his gaze and looked at the boy next to him again.

He had heard the hidden meaning.

Since the probability of death is very high if you leave secretly alone, it is better to cause panic and call a large number of people to leave together to share the risk.

Lin Cheng did not want him to stay in the cave and wait for death. Leaving is the best choice.

"Go back. It will take some time to bring them here."

The growth of a man always happens in a moment.

At this moment, in Cheng Fei's eyes, Lin Cheng's back became very unfamiliar, and he lost too much of his previous immaturity.

The two returned in silence along the original route, and soon returned to the entrance of the migration team's base.

Several members of the exploration team who were still hiding near the exit and chatting were stunned, and the unbridled expressions on their faces suddenly subsided.

No one wanted to provoke the enemy for no reason in the wasteland without rules, even if the opponent was just two half-grown boys.

You know, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. If such a little guy gets ruthless, it will really get into trouble.

However, after seeing that Lin Cheng and Cheng Fei had no prey in their hands, these people's faces reappeared with a little disdainful smile, as if they were looking for comfort excuses for their helplessness in the morning.

"Damn it, I didn't expect that I could come back alive." Huang Ya, who was sitting not far away, muttered.

But he didn't expect that the sharp-eared Lin Cheng actually walked over and slapped him in the face.

Pah!

The crisp sound immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Seeing Huang Ya's stunned face, Lin Cheng bared his white teeth and smiled.

"Excuse me, can I borrow your face?"

"Everyone, please look over here. I have important news to tell everyone in the migration team."

"I think this should be related to the survival of our migration team!"
